Mazurskie Miody

For years we have been involved in the processing of bee honey and producing exceptional honey-based liquors. Our Mead, Honey Liquors and Okowita are above all unique recipes and a result of combining the highest quality raw materials used to produce them.

The cornerstone of the company Mazurskie Miody must be the first apiary founded in 1964 by Witold Bogdan Piasecki, a man fascinated by beekeeping, who indulging in his passion and at the same time preserving a family tradition, had been exploring the mysteries behind the formation of sweet nectar for many years. Enthusiasm born while exploring new possibilities of using honey resulted in establishing the plant in Olsztyn, where originally bee honey was collected. In January 2002, Mazurskie Miody became entitled to use the Quality Certificate ISO 9001 – as the first Polish company dealing with the confection of honey.

Since 2006, the company has been a member of the European Network of Regional Culinary Heritage, as one of the first companies in Poland .

In 2006, Mazurskie Miody gained extraordinary opportunity to create unique, innovative products respected by a wide and growing range of customers after building a new facility with an area of ​​4,000 m². Both the headquarters and manufacturing facility, in which delicacies are created, are located in the village of Tomaszkowo near Olsztyn, in the Warmia and Mazury region.

Our rich offer embrase, inter alia,  full range of Traditional insatiated Meads (meads that are not heat treated) – from quadruple, triple and double to one-and-a-half meads – as well as “strong” honey liquors, based on traditional recipes found in old family archives.

In 2011, Bogdan Piasecki, along with company’s process engineer Janusz Luty decided to remind consumers, not only in Poland, about the product with at least five hundred year old tradition, called in Latin – aqua vitae, the Polish spirit. Two delicious drinks appeared – initially as ideas and then in reality :  Okowita Miodowa Mazurska with an alcohol content of 45% and Okowita Miodowa Warmińska with an alcohol content of 42%.

The quality and uniqueness of Mazurskie Miody products have been confirmed by numerous prestigious awards and prizes – which proves to be a recognition not only from experts, but most of all – consumers –  both in Poland and abroad.

In 1964 Witold Bogdan Piasecki established the first bee farm Mazurkie Miody. He is very passionate about the work of beekeeping and at the same time is committed to preserving the family traditions. He has also spent several years exploring the mysteries behind the composition of nectar. The enthusiasm for this work in the exploration of the possibility of the use of honey was relatively born. The company was established in Olsztyn, Poland, which was the original honey collection site. In January 2002, Mazurskie Miody obtained ISO9001 certification for quality management by the International Organization for Standardization, and was also the first company in Poland to develop honey desserts.

For the Piasecki family, winemaking is a family tradition that has been passed down for generations. However, apart from Mr. Bogdan Piasecki, no other family members want to produce alcoholic beverages on a large scale. The most popular in his family is brewing Dwojniak (double) mead. A truly good mead not only requires a careful fermentation process, it is also very important to enrich the drink with a unique taste of roots, herbs and spices. All meads are made of these raw materials with different ingredients, but the only difference is that Piasecki’s family secret recipe is based on the wine spectrum created by ancestors. Mead is not the only alcoholic beverage with passion for Mr. Piasecki. Honey-based liqueur is also a common drink for family celebration parties.

Mrs. Ewa Urbanska (the head of the laboratory department) has produced a unique and beautiful wine with the knowledge of distillation, raw material composition and professionalism. At the same time, a breakthrough production process was carried out in Piasecki. This is the first time in Polish history that mead is produced without heat treatment. So it can retain all the nutrients in honey. At that time, no other brewer had the same technology to produce on a large scale. To this day, Mr. Piasecki still strives to expand the selection of his beverage line, or share more new ideas to the public, and these are all based on the long-standing Polish tradition of producing honey and honey-based products.
